Tiger Swallowtail (thanks to Trina Paula Holub for identifying.)

The same butterfly, different foo foo. They are some kind of wildflowers that grow in groups of purple and white. Some popped up in my yard this year.
You are lucky to have such pretty wild flowers! And the Tiger Swallowtail is gorgeous!

:-D You're welcome! RobV identified my Viceroy for me. :-) We've all got to stick together. Another lovely shot of the Tiger Swallowtail. I have to tell you though, the only reason I can id this particular butterfly is because it's always been a favorite of mine.

Nice photo. Great detail :-)

I hope you don't mind if I say that the violet petals near the top right corner is a little distracting ...
